  I don't think that you want to do that.
  I'm not quite sure what you want to do (or what platform you are on,
  Unix, Windows, Macintosh?).
  Finally, this is a question about R not about Bioconductor, since
  all R packages have documentation. There is information available in
  the R FAQ and in the Writing R Extensions manual.

  On Unix, if I wanted to have pdf output for a particular package.
  I would go to the directory just above it and
  go:

    R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf annotate

  this would create a nice pdf version of all the man pages.

  On Windows the procedure is a bit different.
